It will be a disgrace if Utd play in Europa. I don’t really give a feck about how Ronaldo feels.
Will Ronaldo ask to leave in the summer?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
It will be a disgrace if any members of the team play Europa League football, buy the way to obviate that is to make top 4. Ronaldo has to improve, as does the rest of the team.
Some here care more about him.
Someone on here was saying he would be happy if Ronaldo scores and wins the league with City (when the Ronaldo was on the verge of signing for them before the last day of the transfer window), because Ronaldo "deserves success".
I’d think the personnel one is the one he thinks he can’t mention for “ethical” reasons, the mentality one he actually explicitly says so it’s not that. So he’s basically saying “my teammates are shite” isn’t he.
How many times he pointed with one way or another about players have to believe more!! between the lines it's very obvious that players mentality is not up to United standards. He knows what this club is all about but he and all of us sure enough that there are big conflicts at dressing room it seems and many players just steal a living here which he declared by saying " somethings have to be destroyed in order to build new ones ". I only think about what is going on on these players mind? is it Ole regime affected us to bad? spoiled players ? it's really frustrating the way things work at this club, but I believe when such terrible things come to the light and be somehow on public, maybe it's the first step to get it fixed once and for all!
Couldn't give less of a shit tbh.
He's basically Chicharito then? Offers nothing outside the box and the majority of his goals are 1 touch.
He's saying what we already know. There is a crowd of overpaid cnuts in this club that needs to be got rid of.
I hope he does leave. We need a team of hard grafting young players who can run all day. It’s been fun having Ronaldo back but it’s just nostalgia.

I am by no means a Ronaldo fanboy and I still harbor resentment from when he left us the first time, so if he were to leave I won't exactly be shedding tears. But, even I have to say I agree with everything he said there. He's one of the few who knows first hand what a Utd dressing room should look like and he's clearly alluding to two things in that interview. One, that Ole leaving did have a massive negative effect on the players. And two, that the club needs to get rid of some of the players in the dressing room if we want to get back to winning ways. To anyone who follows Utd with an impartial perspective, both these things have been clear in the last couple of months.
Personally, I don't think players like Ronaldo or Cavani are the issue at this club. They may not be what they were, but their mentalities are exactly what we require at this club.

Change our mind is very deep phrase.
His conversion rate actually isn't good.
He gone come summer. Not surprising. He came to win and instead found himself surrounded by Sunday league players who think they are God's gift.
Better than Messi this season surely?
Yes, but this isn't the Messi vs Ronaldo thread. He has the 2nd most shots after Salah and one of the lowest conversion rates of PL topscorers.
Yeah of course he'll ask to leave.
We need a huge turnaround at this point, not in terms of points (because points-wise 4th and even 3rd is very much on) but performance. And with no winter signings it seems a Herculean task.
Only saving grace might be the Champions League, if our talented players have the correct attitude towards it and Ralf plays a blinder, mixed with a lot of luck, we might be able to fluke it Chelsea-style.

His numbers are similar to Mbappe, who himself has been saving PSG's arses this season, playing in a much stronger league in a weaker and disjointed team and inferior managers. So I'm curious how you thought that it actually isn't good.
Obvious what is happening. The standards banner was very telling in the stretford end during the last game.
I imagine he wants to win another CL.
My guess is he goes to PSG to replace Mbappe so their owners can brag at parties about having him and Messi play together.

Mpabbe is in his prime and has a greater overall ability. Ronaldo stats looking decent on paper when you just looks at games/goals, however watching him play he's woefull unless he gets on the scoresheet.
Get rid of the idiots we have in our squad.
Are suggesting 36 years Ronaldo, who can't dribble at all anymore, offers the same as young Mbappe?
Stats aren't everything.
If so Emmanuel Dennis > Cristiano
Even Lewandowski would look like half the player if he played in our team right now. I thought your standards must be crazy high if his conversion doesn't impress you, compared to PSG's best.
I'll be surprised if he's still here next season.
Ronaldo himself is getting paid more than 400k per week, and has the same goals as Emmanuel Dennis (playing for a worse side) in PL.
I love how he's all "It's not ethical of me to say", while at the same time telling us the mentality of some players is awful.
Very subtle Ronnie
Even if he wants to leace where can he go where he will get the wages he wants? There is literally nowhere for him to go other than a return to his boyhood club sporting or go to mls.
Ronaldo's shots to goals rate in the league is 14% which puts him in the bottom half for conversion rate in the league.
Ronaldo's goal record in the CL is good, but he is also on the same tally of goals in the league as of emmanuel denis of Watford, who has fewer shots and a higher conversion rate. I agree our whole team is average this season. But no, I havnt been impressed when watching Ronaldo. In his previous game he made a back header that let 2 wolves players through on goal. He esssentially continues to be painfully average, but then if he manages to get a penalty or on the scoresheet the narrative becoomes about how awesome he is. I believe he's a valuable squad player, but whether he stays or not, I'm not overly bothered about. If you want a high pressing team, then old Ronnie is not your man.

Guess some of team mates might turn on him, If they are not already!
He came for the money too. If he wanted to just win I’m sure there would have been other options.
What kind of chances do we create for our striker? How many crosses do we put in each game? When was the last time we scored from a corner
Could Ronaldo get better service? Definitely. But I believe that @troylocker did a detailed breakdown that Ronaldo does actually get a decent amount of chances in the PL and his conversion rate of those chances isn't good.
Idiots in terms of the off the pitch behaviour (briefing the press, not committed in training etc) or football IQ? To be fair they’ve been a bit cr*p at both aspects.
We should think about why Ronaldo came back to the UK, it wasn't the weather that brought him back and he was never likely to go to City, despite all the noise, no it was specifically to play the returning hero at United.
CR believed he could help United raise its self to its former levels of glory in particular to win some silverware; he may, or may not, have been encouraged in these thoughts by SAF (jury still out on that one) but he believed it, that is until he got back and found everything different from top to bottom.
They say "never go back" ...Cristiano is now experiencing that sentiment for real.

He's been chilling with Traore and Mbuemo it seems
I’m sure his agent will inquire especially if we finish outside of the top 4. However, options will be limited. Unless PSG come calling, where would he go? As it’s been reported, whether he stays will be dependent on a number factors including whether he sees us competing for top honours next year and whether he gets along with the new manager. IMO, if we hire Poch then he likely stays. For some reason I just don’t see him getting along with Ten Hag.
